Taylor Swift’s act of generosity: Popstar continues her giving streak with donation to Edinburgh food bank after sell-out Eras Tour concerts

Popstar Taylor Swift has continued her streak of generosity after donating to local foodbanks in Edinburgh while in the city in the first UK leg of her sell-out Eras tour.

The international superstar, 34, has quickly earned a reputation for her donation to charitable causes around the world as she travels the globe with her much-anticipated three-and-a-half hour show.

But after her first concerts in the Scottish capital broke long-standing attendance records, saw tens of thousands flock to the city and residents reporting her music could be heard miles away, it was revealed Swift had also left behind a sizeable charitable donation.

Taking to social media on Monday, the Edinburgh Food Project, said it was informed before her first concert on Friday that she would be ‘making a donation to support foodbanks across the city’.

The charity told MailOnline it has agreed not to reveal the exact amount of money donated by Swift, but said it will ‘make a big difference to the people we support.

Things are really tough for a lot of people right now, so it is lovely to see someone like Taylor spreading such positivity.’

Edinburgh Food Bank also included a link for members of the public to donate £13 in their post – a nod to current speculation among fans – known as Swifties – that there may be an announcement coming from the singer on June 13.

This date also marks her 100th show of the Eras tour.

It is not the first time the Down Bad singer has contributed to food initiatives on her tour.

Before beginning the leg of her tour in Tampa, Florida in April 2023, she donated an unspecified large sum to Feeding Tampa Bay.

The charity said Swift had donated enough money to fund 125,000 meals for those in need, and praised her for ‘being a hero’ on its Instagram page.

And in the state of Victoria, Australia, Swift also made a significant donation to Foodbank Victoria.

Taking to Instagram, Foodbank Victoria posted a familiar image of the superstar on-stage with the caption ‘OMG Thank you’.

‘As if we couldn’t love you anymore than we already do,’ the organisation captioned the post.
